Sandie Hinton-Owens, LCSW

Sandie Hinton-Owens is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas with four years of clinical experience. She works with adults who deal with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and the challenges of life changes. She also helps people who are managing ADHD and codependency patterns.

She draws on a background that began in special education. Sandie taught in special education for nine years and learned practical ways to adjust supports for different learning and communication styles. That experience informs how she structures sessions and explains tools in simple terms.

Sandie completed a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies and a master’s degree in social work from Texas State University. Her internships included hospital work where she provided cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and psychoeducation in intensive outpatient groups. She has worked with adults on the autism spectrum to build self-advocacy skills.

For the past 3.5 years she has provided individual outpatient services and supported students in K-12 school settings. She has also been rostered with a center that focuses on trauma and grief support for adolescents, which shaped her approach to working with trauma-related concerns.

In sessions she uses clear, practical strategies and talks through steps people can use between meetings. She supports people who struggle with abandonment, attachment questions, family-of-origin issues, guilt and shame, and loneliness. People who want direct guidance on boundaries, communication, and coping skills may find her approach straightforward and concrete.
